The chairman of the Dutch HPV association (Kees van Malsen) mentioned that he would try to organize a seminar in a few years from now. The proceedings will be available from the velomobile seminar website.

Erik Marynissen has milled the part for the wheel cover with his gigantic homebuilt router. Thank you Erik!

I have tacked the parts to a curved (~R 600 mm) piece of wood and glued
them together with PU construction glue (Pattex PU construct).
